Just downloaded it, I've played with it for about 2 minutes and I'm already surprised.It's great, the "add by running process" option is just plain genious, and there are so many options that I had no way to see it all in so little time. Still, it has great potential!My only comment is: how can I make the title bar disappear when the bar is not docked?Without changing anything in the options, I get it looking like this: Changing the main dock's properties to "no border", i get this:Another thing is that when it's docked, the text on the captions disappear:Anyways, LBC looks great, and by the options dialog (which is very,very powerful, btw), it looks like it'll even get better!Well.. You got me using a launch bar again (i stopped using my last one when I found farr )

ill add option to remove titlebar when not docked, but as far as captions disappearing - you have to resize it to get it to the size you want after you dock it, but you cant resize it when borders are set to none - so:

1. turn border back to thin or thick2. dock it to side of screen and resize it to exact size you want3. then turn borders back off if you really hate the border when docked.

Yet a few more suggestions:1 - While playing with the config dialog, I lost the dialog constantlly, because it doesn't have taskbar button. I think you did it on purpose, but it can get anoying.2 - Is there any way to make the icons display on the horizontal instead of list-like?

Last 2 for today (sorry for the bugging): 1 - There is some kind of limitation in the size of the window, it has a minimum width. That's bad for people with little "screen real-estate".2 - the auto-hide could have the option to appear instantaneously.In 2, i mean: can't the icons be side-by-side on the undocked mode like they appear when the bar is docked at the top of the screen.(I'm loving LBC more and more.. )

Ok, found the problem.Try setting the icon's size to "small", and you'll see my problem with setting icons side-by-side. (they get too much distanced in that mode, that's why it wasn't aligning them the right way)It was the "all same width option". Problem solved. I can go to bed now.

i'm a long-time user of Arcanewood's Enchanted Toolbar but however your impressive screen-shots persuaded me into trying out LBC... After 20mins of adding apps to the launch-bar, I must say that "Preferences" window could use a taskbar button as the preferences window disappears once it loses focus especially if the main-window (aka the docking window) is set to "Not on Top" and the icon is removed form the systray as well... Now Alt-tab is only way to bring the Preferences window to the foreground...

Little quirk, here -- I have a row of icons I keep on the bottom of my desktop -- quick-access stuff. Every time I close the TLB preferences and it re-draws, it pops the shortcuts off the bottom of the desktop and sticks them on the top of the desktop. TLB is set to dock auto-hide on the top of the screen.

can i suggest that if you make lots of changes by dragging and dropping items onto your docking bars while they are docked, that you at some point go into the preferences screen and hit save, because on reboot/shutdown the dock bar configurations may not be saved in the current version, so you would lose changes since the last save.

(by the way you will also find some backup functions in the preferences Tools menu, and you can backup your docking bar files just like normal files).

One small proposition:When the bar is minimized to the tray, it has no tooltip on hover. This means that it isn't identified in the tray properties to make it not appear, or something like that.And also, if you have 2 bars with the same icon on the tray, you can't distinguish them.(I know it's a bit of a stupid request, but it's more for a matter of coherence)

Good software can be recognized on those little things that you don't notice.If you don't notice that the software is doing something, it's only because it's good.I've just found out that launchbar commander appears on alt+tab. But it appears as the first item, and is never selected.Mouser did you do this on purpose? IMO, it's a fantastic feature!Being able to alt-tab into a launchbar is nothing i've ever seen. And the best thing is that if you alt-tab into it, then you alt-tab back into another app, if you do alt-tab, it doesn't select lbc again, because it is never selected by default. I like it!

But i have yet another proposition: if you can alt-tab into it, why not have keyboard navigation built-in?I know launchbars aren't exactly made with the intend of being keyboard-navigated, but what can i say, i love the keyboard!
